This is a delicious fall and winter soup with hearty vegetables and a meaty flavor. Don’t be put off by the list of seasonings; it goes together quickly when you use the same measuring spoon for multiple ingredients. Marmite, a British staple, can also be found in many grocery stores in the United States. You will find this soup is delicious with a big salad and some rustic whole wheat bread.
